Stories of Jesus

Written by the children in Mrs. Vaage's Grade 1 Class

We had been reading the New Testament stories from a Children's Bible over a period of several months. The children wanted to show their parents how much of the story of Jesus they had learned and could share by writing their ideas.

Mary was about to have a baby.  So Mary and Joseph went to Bethlehem and at Bethlehem they went to lots of different places to stay but all of them were full.  Then a man came over and said, “Do you need a place to stay?”

Mary nodded, yes.

The man led them to a stable.  There was a perfect place for Jesus to be born.

And so the man did this.  Everyone was shocked!  He did a lot more miracles.  He told a lot of parables which are stories.   Most of the people wanted to kill Jesus.  He went to court.  They made him carry a huge wooden cross.  They nailed him down.  They put him in a tomb.  He was not there!  All she found was an angel and some cloth.  The angel said, “Jesus is not here.”

Mary heard a voice.  She thought it was a guard.  “Guard, please show me where you have put my Lord.”

“Mary.”

“Jesus!!”

“Go and tell everyone that you have seen me!”
”OK!”

She ran to tell everyone the good news.  The next day a big cloud came by.  It said, “This is my Son.”  He rose up to heaven and a fiery gas touched the disciples on their heads.  No one ever knew what the Holy Spirit was like. 

And that is what happened!
